The 2010 China’s Lunar New Year falls on February 14 on the solar calendar, coincidentally, that day is also Tibetan New Year as well as the western holiday Valentine´s Day. The three festivals arrive on the same day, which is quite a coincidence and very rare over the last one hundred years.
In Beijing, people are even more busy on holiday. Apart from the traditional celebrating activities, such as enjoying the fabulous "New Year´s Eve dinner", visiting the various temple fairs, watching the CCTV New Year´s Gala, you can also attend the greatest opera performances, music concerts and enjoying the movies here. These must add extra flavour during the holiday !
